BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE: VMC) (the “Company”) announced today the final results of its previously announced tender offer (as amended by the early results press release dated February 10, 2014 (the “Early Results Press Release”) and the press release dated March 3, 2014 (the “March 3 Press Release”), the “Tender Offer”) for its 6.50% senior notes due 2016 (“2016 Notes”), 6.40% senior notes due 2017 (“2017 Notes”) and 7.00% senior notes due 2018 (“2018 Notes” and, together with the 2016 Notes and the 2017 Notes, the “Securities”), subject to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount (as defined below), as well as the Acceptance Priority Levels and Tender Caps (as amended by the Early Results Press Release) for each series of Securities set forth in the table below. The Company had previously received tenders in an aggregate principal amount of $433.4 million of the 2016 Notes, $130.1 million of the 2017 Notes and $224.9 million of the 2018 Notes, which had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn (“Validly Tendered”) as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 7, 2014 (the “Early Tender Date”). After the Early Tender Date, the Company received tenders in aggregate principal amount of $0.4 million of the 2016 Notes and $1.2 million of the 2017 Notes. The Company received no additional tenders of the 2018 Notes after the Early Tender Date.

Additionally, the Company announced today that it is increasing the aggregate principal amount to be purchased in the Tender Offer (the “Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount”) from $500 million to $506,366,000.

All Securities Validly Tendered as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 7, 2014 (the “Expiration Date”) and accepted for purchase in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer will receive payment on March 10, 2014. Since the Tender Offer is oversubscribed with respect to the 2016 Notes and the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, the Company has accepted 2016 Notes on a prorated basis up to an amount equal to the applicable Tender Cap and has accepted 2017 Notes in an amount such that, when added to the 2016 Notes accepted, the total amount of Validly Tendered Securities accepted is equal to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount. Since the combined aggregate principal amount of 2016 Notes and 2017 Notes Validly Tendered and accepted is equal to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, no 2018 Notes were accepted. The Company will pro rate holders of the 2016 Notes at a rate of approximately 86.6% and will accept all Validly Tendered 2017 Notes.

The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal dated January 23, 2014 (together, the “Offer Documents”), each of which were amended by this press release, the Early Results Press Release and the March 3 Press Release.
